| Interesting article by CNN - note the only American in the hoosegow has a father who's a longtime civil rights activist. Shocker! I think you mean a longtime democratic voter entitlement activist Bristol, Rhode Island (CNN) -- The Willcox family has long been accustomed to prolonged absences from their seafaring patriarch. In fact, run-ins with the law were not unusual, given the fact that Peter Willcox had spent decades working for the environmental activist group Greenpeace, which is well-known for its provocative, headline-grabbing protests. But no one expected the 60-year-old mariner to end up languishing in a Russian jail in the Arctic, facing up to 15 years in prison on charges of piracy. I'm digging this story... |

| #14 They should be thinking of this as an opportunity to rite a fine book, maybe on the toiletless paper, cigarette skins (oh ick!) or skratch it into the walls with their broken canine toof. This is a call to greatness. |

| #9 I demand a congressional delegation fly there at once and remain there until he is released ! Jesse Jackson available? Bill Richardson? Dennis Rodman? Dennis Kucinich? How about Ted Danson? He's always going on about the ocean, and he's not doing much... |

| #7 It will only complicate matters if the Russians discover that the Greenpeace movement has been overtaken by a gaye 'extreme reality' vacation tour agency. |
